Product details
Overview
RI-I17-112A-03 from Texas Instruments is a passive 13.56-MHz HF RFID transponder inlay compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-2, -3 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 standards, featuring 2048-bit user memory organized in 64-bit × 32-block format, factory-programmed 64-bit read-only number, and aluminum antenna on PET substrate for integration into paper or PVC laminates.
For engineers reviewing the RI-I17-112A-03 datasheet, RI-I17-112A-03 pinout, RI-I17-112A-03 application, or RI-I17-112A-03 equivalent, key selection considerations include operating frequency offset (13.80 MHz ±400 kHz), required activation field strength (110 dBmA/m read, 113 dBmA/m write), memory lock per block, AFI/DSFID support, and mechanical specs including ø32.5 mm outer diameter and 18 mm minimum bending radius.
Technical Context
This transponder operates passively via magnetic coupling at 13.56 MHz, with resonance tuned to 13.80 MHz ±400 kHz to compensate for dielectric loading during lamination into paper or PVC substrates. It implements full ISO/IEC 15693 command set including Inventory, Read_Single_Block, Write_Single_Block, Lock_Block, and TI-custom Write_2_Blocks.
Memory architecture supports 32 blocks of 64 bits each, with individual block locking (user/factory), AFI and DSFID programming, and combined inventory read capability. It delivers >10-year data retention at 55°C and withstands –25°C to 70°C operational temperature range with 100,000 write cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 13.80 MHz ±400 kHz - laser-tuned resonance compensates for substrate-induced frequency shift during lamination. |
| User Memory Capacity | 2048 bits (64-bit × 32 blocks) - enables multi-field asset tagging with block-level security control. |
| Activation Field Strength | 110 dBmA/m (read), 113 dBmA/m (write) - defines minimum reader field intensity needed for reliable operation after integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HF RFID transponder inlay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-I17-112A-01 | Different antenna geometry (ø25 mm); no frequency offset tuning - optimized for direct surface mounting, not lamination. | Suitable for rigid label stock or plastic enclosures; lower read range when embedded in paper/PVC. | Select RI-I17-112A-01 only when substrate dielectric effects are negligible and smaller form factor is required. |
| RI-I17-112A-05 | Copper antenna (vs. aluminum); thicker substrate (0.12 mm); higher read sensitivity (107 dBmA/m) but reduced bend tolerance (25 mm radius). | Better suited for metal-mount or high-reliability industrial tagging; incompatible with tight-radius flexible packaging. | Choose RI-I17-112A-05 when maximum read range in challenging RF environments outweighs mechanical flexibility requirements. |
Compared with RI-I17-112A-01 and RI-I17-112A-05, the RI-I17-112A-03 uniquely balances lamination-compensated resonance, aluminum's cost-effective flexibility, and PET's thermal stability - making it optimal for high-volume paper/PVC smart label production where bending radius and substrate-induced detuning are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency specification for RI-I17-112A-03, and why is it offset from 13.56 MHz?
The RI-I17-112A-03 is laser-tuned to resonate at 13.80 MHz ±400 kHz - not the nominal 13.56 MHz - to compensate for frequency detuning caused by dielectric loading when laminated into paper or PVC substrates. This offset ensures consistent read range and reliability post-integration, as confirmed in Table 1 of the SCBS827A datasheet. The RI-I17-112A-03 must be used with readers capable of supporting this adjusted center frequency and its tolerance band.
Does RI-I17-112A-03 support block-level memory locking, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the RI-I17-112A-03 supports both user and factory lock per 64-bit block, as stated in its FEATURES section and verified in Table 2 command support. Locking is executed via the Lock_Block command (0x22) and applies permanently once written; locked blocks cannot be rewritten or relocked. This enables secure segmentation - for example, locking calibration data while leaving usage counters writable. The RI-I17-112A-03 implements this at the silicon level with non-volatile fuse-based protection.
What are the mechanical limits for bending RI-I17-112A-03, and what happens if exceeded?
The RI-I17-112A-03 has a specified minimum bending radius of 18 mm (~0.71 in). Exceeding this limit risks aluminum antenna fracture or delamination from the PET substrate, leading to permanent loss of RF coupling and read failure. This specification is validated under standard test conditions per TI's qualification process and applies to static bends - repeated flexing below the threshold accelerates fatigue. The RI-I17-112A-03 must be applied to surfaces meeting this curvature constraint to ensure functional longevity.
How many RI-I17-112A-03 inlays ship per reel, and what are the reel dimensions?
A standard reel of RI-I17-112A-03 contains 5,000 good units. Reel dimensions are: outer width ≈60 mm (~2.36 in), inner width ≈50 mm (~1.97 in), and hub diameter 76.2 mm (3 in). The inlays are supplied in single-row tape wound on cardboard reels with 500-mm diameter. These specifications are defined in the Delivery section of the SCBS827A datasheet and ensure compatibility with standard high-speed label converting and inlay placement equipment.
Is RI-I17-112A-03 suitable for use in high-humidity or outdoor environments?
The RI-I17-112A-03 is rated for storage at –40°C to 85°C (single inlay), but warpage may occur above 70°C; its PET substrate and aluminum antenna are not inherently moisture-sealed. For high-humidity or outdoor deployment, the RI-I17-112A-03 must be fully encapsulated within a protective laminate or overmold that prevents water ingress and UV exposure. Direct exposure compromises antenna adhesion and dielectric properties, degrading RI-I17-112A-03 read performance and long-term reliability.
